"The construction of fortifications and a meeting on regional life support issues," he explained the purpose of his visit.
The head of state visited those frontline areas where new fortifications are being built, noting that "most of what was planned has already been completed."
In Pokrovsk, located just a few kilometers from the conflict line, Zelensky met with the fighters of the 25th Separate Airborne Sicheslav Brigade, which is defending the city, presenting them with combat awards.
"A tense front. Only thanks to the resilience of the warriors is eastern Ukraine not completely occupied by Russia," – the president wrote, sharing a video from the brigade's location.
